Simply More Flak Armor

Ever found the lack of variety in industrial armor dull? This mod will fix that while remaining balanced to vanilla.


The vanilla Flak Jacket for reference:

Flak Jacket
Sharp: 55%
Blunt: 8%
Heat: 10%


Items included:

Flak Duster - A lighter yet less protective alternative to the jacket, also works brilliantly in hot weather.


Sharp: 51%
Blunt: 8%
Heat: 15%
Move Speed: -0.10

Flak Coat: A heavier yet more protective alternative to the jacket, also works brilliantly in cold weather.


Sharp: 64%
Blunt: 10%
Heat: 8%
Move Speed: -0.16


Flak Padding - Light weight padding that protects mainly from blunt damage, not much against sharp damage though. Can be worn with a jacket though.


Sharp: 24%
Blunt: 52%
Heat: 0.2%
Move Speed: -0.06


I have also added some helmets as well.


The vanilla flak helmet:


Sharp: 70%
Blunt: 70%
Heat: 70%


Flak Hood: A warm, protective hood designed specifically for cold climates.


Sharp: 65%
Blunt: 65%
Heat: 45%
Move Speed: No change


Flak Gas Mask: Its a compromise between the Flak Helmet and Gas Mask, it combines the best of both.


Sharp: 65%
Blunt: 65%
Heat: 65%
Toxic Resistance: 70%


Flak Gunlink: Its a compromise between the Flak Helmet and Gunlink, it combines the best of both.

Blunt: 65%
Heat: 65%
Move Speed: -0.10
Shooting Accuracy: 2.5


Q&A:

Q: Why does the Flak Gunlink and Flak Gas Mask require DLC?

A: Because the regular versions of each respective head piece is also locked behind said DLC. If you want access to the headgear without the DLC, just remove MayRequire="ludeon.rimworld.(DLC Name)" from the thingdef in the Apparel_Various.xml file. No guarantee it will work as intended (or at all) but that options always there.

Q: Combat Extended?

A: Yes

Q: Can I patch it for other stuff?

A: Yes, all I ask is that you make this mod a requirement.

Q: Can I reupload it?

A: To everywhere other than steam workshop, yes just credit me please. For steam workshop specifically, ask permission first.
